b12755a1cc GH-47686: [Docs][Python] Split the Python Parquet docs into separate items (#50419)
### Rationale for this change
The current parquet section is one-page and covering lots of topics. As per https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/46601 the parquet section is most visited and would therefore need a bit of maintenance/content update.

### What changes are included in this PR?

- Parquet documentation is split in 4 different subpages (index.rst, parquet.rst, parquet_datasets.rst and parquet_encryption.rst). 
- Some additional content is added

### Are these changes tested?
Via the docs preview

### Are there any user-facing changes?
No
* GitHub Issue: #47686

PyArrow - Apache Arrow Python bindings
--------------------------------------
This is the documentation of the Python API of Apache Arrow.
Apache Arrow is a universal columnar format and multi-language toolbox for fast
data interchange and in-memory analytics. It contains a set of technologies that
enable data systems to efficiently store, process, and move data.
See the :doc:`parent documentation <../index>` for additional details on
the Arrow Project itself, on the Arrow format and the other language bindings.
The Arrow Python bindings (also named "PyArrow") have first-class integration
with NumPy, pandas, and built-in Python objects. They are based on the C++
implementation of Arrow.
Here we will detail the usage of the Python API for Arrow and the leaf
libraries that add additional functionality such as reading Apache Parquet
files into Arrow structures.
